As a level 1 trauma center we are lucky enough to have some of the best trauma surgeons taking care of our population here in Worcester. Today we chat with Dr. Michael Iannamorelli – he works on the front lines of emergency and trauma care, treating patients on what is often the worst day of their lives. His work goes far beyond the operating room—it requires calm under pressure, teamwork across disciplines, and a deep commitment to patient care when the stakes couldn’t be higher.In this episode, we talk about what it’s really like to be a trauma surgeon, what Dr. Iannamorelli does outside of work, and we have a special segment on something that is becoming increasingly common – rib plating.
